RESUMÉ
I'm five years old and I walk along the dirt road. I stop and pick a flower. Climbing over a rock I'm imagining that someone is watching me, like I'm in a movie. Like the Astrid Lindgren characters.
My name is Elina and I was born in 1990 and raised on a farm two hours from Stockholm. I have been living in Stockholm for six years pursuing my acting career by attending schools, workshops and producing plays of my own.
I want to make hopeful and intriguing work that inspires people.
I am also very devoted to environmental issues. I'm currently working on a play for children about the environment called "Jakten på Klimathjältarna" (The Search for Climate Heroes).
